Georgia is also the home state of the legendary Otis Redding
Like Ray Charles I’m pretty much just going to let the music do the talking
Redding, still one of the most recognizable names in soul, drowned in the frigid December waters of Wisconsin’s Lake Monona following a plane crash in 1967. James Brown warned Redding not to get on that plane. Redding had just been in the studio working on his biggest hit
(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay three days earlier.
His funeral was held in this building in Macon, GA.
